Summary: An Emotional Rollercoaster!
Review: As a devout fan of PSME, I was disappointed to know that there were only six episodes. The series is far too complex to be consensed so much! But, nevertheless, I bought it and I loved it. I fell in love with the bratty Rin, the gender-confused Issei, the nitpicky Sakura (who resembles me in more ways than one), and even the hard-headed Jinpachi. Haruhiko/Shukaido was very well done! His heavy heart was transferred to screen seamlessly (for what the short series allowed). I laughed, I cried, I did that thing where you laugh and cry at the same time! I was touched very deeply. For any reader of shoujo manga (female-based/emotion-based comics) this is a MUST HAVE!

This is about the DVD version.

Summary: Wonderful, amazing and lovely
Review: Being an avid anime fan I was pleasantly surprised to finaly see Please Save my Earth. I'd heard tons about it but it took me quite a while to get ahold of it. Not only is the artwork amazing, but so is the story-line (though, I'm rather angry that they let a lot of the things die off in order to finish the shows earlier). I would rather that it follow the manga more closely. But on the whole its a gorgeous anime with wonderful music (you should check it out), wonderful characters and a good enough plot to move me to tears.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good series but inconclusive ending
Review: First I should say that I liked this short series. It's remarkably intelligent and raises a lot of interesting questions about human nature, fate, reincarnation, etc... The characters had some depth (which is impressive for such a short series) and the story had a lot of momentum in the beginning. Unfortunately, the ending leaves a lot of story threads unresolved. After watching the last episode, I found myself looking for another episode. "Surely that can't be it." Unfortunately, that was it. I would recommend renting this one if it's available, rather than purchasing it. While it's a decent series overall, you're likely to be disappointed by the ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reincarnation and then...
Review: I bought PSME because I was young and idiotic and I heard there was light shounen-ai (homosexuality) content. Can you tell I'm an bishounen fan girl? Well anyway, PSME is much more than what I imagined it to be. The plot is intriguing and very original and the characters are complex and real. There Japanese voice actors are all pretty well known and their voices are just beautiful. The music is gorgeous with the composing team of Hajime Mizoguchi (Jin-roh) and Yoko Kanno (Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop). I suggest for anyone who wants to sit down for three hours and be completely ensnared with what may happen next.

Unfortunately, PSME has several draw backs. First, and most notable, this is taken off a 21 volume manga. So A LOT has been extracted. The ending is rushed, confusing, and not very conclusionary and various event are just left hanging. Despite that it really is a wonderful story and does extremely well in telling the story despite its very limited time. Many mangas made into OAVs of movies suffer from butchered scripts - Earthian, X, and Tokyo Babylon both where cut up into virtually unrecoginizable storylines - so PSME actually is one of the best compared to some other mangas made OAV.

The other disappointment is that the translations are used rather liberablly. I am no expert on Japanese, I know very, very, little, but I could tell times where they just made up their own meanings. Example: one time in Japanese Rin says "Yokatta." The literal translation is "I'm glad." The subtitles said "Thank you" which is completely inaccurate. And in the dub he says "All right." It is rather annoying, but still nothing really bad happens to the story or characters by the messed dialogue.

Overall, I love this series. I own nearly half of the manga - though it is in Japanese and I cannot read a bit of it (yet). It is one of my favorite series and will remain so. It has so much depth to it and is really quite stunning! I highly recommend Please Save My Earth - Boku Chikyuu wa Mamotte!!!

Summary: Worth buying
Review: I finally saw this anime for the first time this weekend.It was so funny well on the part when Issei finally let his feelings out. I was laughing and gigling!!! LOL
It was kinda confusing during the first time I saw it especially when the last two reincarnated scientists showed up. I was like "who's playing who now?" but other than that everything is perfect though i Havent read the manga yet.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great story,,, only if it were completed,,,
Review: I read PSME in Japanese from comic books, then saw this movie. I was so excited to watch every episode, only to realize that this is not done completely! It ended just when all the interesting part of the story was about to evolve. I felt sad, but thinking that there must be another DVD for the later part. My hope turned into disappointment when I learnt that there was any more!!! I strongly recommend viewers to find a way to read comic books of PSME since the story is a lot deeper and more exciting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!!
Review: I really loved this OAV. Since everyone has already pretty much summed up the story with the seven scientists living on the moon and then being reincarnated on Earth, I'll move on to the DVD itself. Well, the nicest thing of all is that this DVD contains all six episodes of the OAV which were originally on three seperate VHS tapes. The quality of the animation is amazing. The colors are crisp and bright and the character designs are absolutely gorgeous. Extra's include a section full of viz products including trailers for quite a few other anime (Yay commercials, I can't help it I'm wierd and I like watching them.), also a creditless ending (not that big of a whoop), most frequently asked questions, and a really really helpful character profile and info section. This is great because all seven scientists look TOTALLY different reincarnated, some even switching genders. It gets really confusing who is who and I found myself referring to it a few times throughout the show.
The dub is pretty good as well, not the best but it didn't make me cringe like some shows.

The music is also another plus. It is soooooo pretty and eerie. It sounds really cool at some parts and fits well in the scenes. The story is very good as well. It's very touching and at the same time exciting. No matter how many times I watch it I never get sick of it. I totally reccomend this show to any anime fan. It has enough action, romance, drama, and science fiction to appeal to everyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but confusing
Review: I was quite surprised at how much I liked this. It's a story of the reincarnation of a group of human/aliens who were stranded on the moon and are coming back as as teenagers in Japan. Quite an interesting concept and story. My biggest problem, however, and I hate to admit it, is keeping track of who's who. A lot of the Japanese names sounded similar and some of the characters look similar (and there are a lot of them), so it can get confusing about who is who. Not that in the long run it makes a big difference. I have to say that the ending is quite anti-climactic too, but overall the whole experience of this anime was pretty entertaining. Maybe on more viewings more will become clear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for anime fans!
Review: Please Save My Earth is a story about Seven Japanese Teenagers that find each other because they are all sharing the same "Moon Dreams". In these Moon Dreams the Seven Teenagers are Seven Scientists on a Moon Base watching the earth. I don't want to give anything away but you'll fall in love with each of the characters as they discover what is the meaning of all of it. ^^ The DVD version is the only way you can see the Japanese version subtitled and if you are a PSME fan and haven't seen the Japanese version you are missing out!
